Anyone else a major fan of raw oysters on the half shell? I first tried them when I was in California and I couldn't get enough... such a nice, crisp and lightly mild taste with the perfect touch of lemon and a dash of mignonette sauce.

Since then I've made trips to 99 Ranch Market to buy my own oysters and then had shucking parties with some colleagues.

i fucking love oysters. i had some pretty good blue point oysters on tuesday. i love going to nice steak or seafood houses to get the good oysters. good, cold water atlantic oysters are by far my favorite. we have a lot of gulf oysters around here, but they aren't nearly as good as some of the east coast oysters.

I'm becoming very partial to the east coast oysters now. I've had the locally farmed ones from Nor Cal, but I've tried a few platters over here in D.C. and absolutely love them... they all have their own unique tastes and they add up the credit card bill quickly too.

You been to any good oyster joints in D.C?

i've only been to DC once, and i was a kid. but head up to NYC and you can't beat the grand central oyster bar. so much variety from all over. very good.

Raw oysters are awesome! Definitely one of my favorites every once in a while. If anyone lives in or around San Francisco, there's a place on Embarcadero called Waterbar that has $1 oysters every day from 11ish to 6 pm. Yes I said EVERY DAY! And I believe they have some $5 cocktails. $20 there goes a long way!

anyone else like their oysters with mignonette sauce? if you haven't tried, it's easy to make. diced shallots, pepper, and vinegar. my favorite not tabasco sauce. also try crystal hot sauce on them. don't know if that's something you find out of the south or not.
